A panel discussion on the future of biomaterials in construction in Aotearoa.
In recent years Zero Carbon aspirations demand a proactive reconsideration of many activities which were previously considered business as usual. The built environment presents a very real carbon impact, and increasingly technological innovation is leading to development of new biomaterials and applications which are offering promising, and at time even radical, improvements. However, these developments are taking place against a backdrop of system entrenchments that may decelerate their uptake, such as access to testing and industry behaviours.
Discover the game-changing potential of bio-materials like wool acoustic products and mycelium-based composites, paving the way towards Zero Carbon goals. This cross-discipline discussion seeks to facilitate the breaking down of barriers and accelerate the adoption of innovative carbon-reducing materials for a sustainable future.
NZGBC Future Thinkers is a young professionals and students group, connecting people in the building industry who have an interest in a sustainable future for our urban environments.
Thank you to our Future Thinkers sponsors, Warren and Mahoney, Mott MacDonald and Resene for helping make this event happen. A big thanks also to the Victoria University of Wellington for hosting us.
